Life goes on

Kev never left Zedadias’ home after Alice did. He’s still wandering the house having arguments with himself. Zedadias isn’t responding to him, perhaps hoping that if he ignores him, he’ll go away.

Ever since Alice’s early visit when she broke his shower, water has been constantly leaking from somewhere, despite the shower having been fixed long ago. Zedadias spends most of his days futilely trying to stem the tide with his mop.

My real life as a homeless person would fit the storyline great. I could drop some real life —- to the story stuff the rest of the wrold has no Idea what homeless go through.
I am @ a shelter NOW search in Houston Texas not suppose to be using the computer for this but it’z so interesting I will take a chance on getting kicked out BUT not beforte I get a shower, starting to smell like yesterday. PS if anyone has a old or outdated laptop or anything you can donate to a homeless father paralized to mhytche1997@yahoo.com
my video camera was stolen @ Salvation Army shelter but here is my video

No, sometimes random people show up in you town that aren’t included in the town… I don’t know why. I had a guy named “Cycl0n3 Sw0rd” show up in my town who looked a little bit like Zed, but he got old and died.

random people can show up, which makes it difficult to say whether zed was created or not, i dont think he grew up since it wouldn’t fit the timeline of alice and kevs story. Cycl0n3 Sw0rd is part of the roomie household in sunset valley i know that for sure. I havn’t seen zed anywhere but when i go to create a sim there at the bottom of the young adult list is a sim who sort of looks like zed so those wanting to create him could try using him and seve yourself some trouble.

no. why would they be??????????? thats crazy. there not going to make a sims game with murder. sorry, try a different video game. – and sorry if i came off as a bitch i was just answering a question people have been asking for like ever-

Sometimes, I wish they could. It would add a very interesting dynamic to the game. But Brytni’s right: it wouldn’t be the sims if they could. I also wish they would have a religious expansion pack: having the pope and the dali llama (sp?) and Jesus just wandering around as npc’s from time to time would be hilarious. And if especially devout sims would get into arguments over belief from time to time, then that would be funny too! Would also bring to light how silly it is to argue in real life, dare I say.

I dunno, but have you ever noticed the “Gold Digger” lifetime achievement? It says something about her partner dying “prematurely”. Almost seems like it’s offering her a chance to kill him off so she can enjoy the money.

I still say that Zed seems a terrible match; he might indulge the lost childhood; but a childish person isn’t the best idea for someone who needs so much. I mean what does Zed do? I’m just saying she shouldn’t fall for the first nice guy she ever meets, seems a little desperate for love, kinda like selling herself.

I’m kind of Pro AlicexZed, but that doesn’t fuel what I’m about to say. This is The Sims, have you ever noticed that couples never get into arguments over anything? At least, not autonomously. Couples are always perfect matches; even when they have opposite traits, they can still lead a long and happy life together. Very unrealistic, of course, but that’s just it. Alice and Zedadias aren’t real, they’re sims. They would work out just fine as a couple, and they would work out just fine as friends. In many a sim story it is much more convenient to go with the first guy you meet, and it always works out just fine unless you purposely try to make it not work out. There is no possible way for a sim to be desperate for love, or to be “selling herself.”

However, if this were a real-life situation, I agree with you that it’s not very smart to get involved with the first guy she’s met and actually made a good relationship with. (However, the desperate for love thing confuses me, ’cause, come one, if you really feel that way about the first guy you met, then you’re not desperate, you genuinely feel that way. xD)

I get your point but at the same time I felt like this story showed how much a real shine the game has. Besides it’s not just about being happy; you could live a shallow self indulged life and be happy. However a harder working sim would make a better future if say she ever wanted children.

There is a way for them to be desperate, they always act desperate when left alone. I had made a family in which one son had some family orientation; he moved out so the computer took control. He married some random girl with unsimilar traits in order to fulfill his wishes and start making a family.

As for first guy you met; it’s just such a childish act. Only people I can think of that talk about early loves being perfect are teen girls who spout their crappy boyfriend is perfect up to breaking up with them. There is some chance it’s her best match, my point wasn’t to never be with him; but instead to wait and see to make sure she doesn’t throw away possible life for some kinda nice guy.

yes exactly; her position needs support. I’d rather see someone with “good”, “brave”, “workaholic” and then whatever two traits make him seem human. It’s not some ten romance, it’s a reflection of what real support she and her father needs.

Loving it! I really need to download Riverview, that is a really neat looking community lot.

The story inspired me to make a couple of homeless sims of my own, modeled after these two. It was all going so well, sorta, until the dad died. The daughter was taken away by a social worker and there goes that. 😛

I had that “Puddle” trouble too with my Sims breaking the shower at a townie house. Just change the active household to Zed’s house, delete all the plumbing in the bathroom, mop up the puddles, and then replace the plumbing. Then you can switch back to Alice and Kev family.

speaking of bugs but a little off-topic… none of my sims have been able to have daughters yet. It’s been like 16 sons in a row. For probably ten different families. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. And P.S. I love this story! Did you have a good weekend off?

If you feed a pregnant sim apples (or food that has been cooked with apples in it) the likely hood of having a boy increases. Eat 4 apple filled meal and I think the likelyhood reaches 100%. If you want girls, feed your preggo sim watermellons or foods with watermellon in it.

Hint: Fruit in the fridge gets used in alphabetical order. But if you keep watermelon in your sims’ inventory when they are cooking they’ll use that first.

I tried a fairly extreme experiment on mine… one homeless guy with a bench a front door a phone and a pond… I forced him to adopt 7 babies, then put the 30 guests mod on then the know everyone cheat… then organised a birthday party… then let them be free will.

so far no major occurences… babies everywhere on the grass crying though… everyone hates my homeless chap and his noisy crying baby parties but the babies haven’t been taken away.

You have Kev bringing his heartbreaking skills of romance – dude’s already broken up a marriage! – and a lot of brooding, and you have Zedadias who can take him out of his shell and keep him from being too evil. It’s perfect!

(And when Kev inevitably breaks Zed’s heart he can totally hook up with Alice.)

Now that I think about it… it explains a lot of Zed’s behavior… Tag? I’m just kidding, but that is a great idea! XD
The crazy bum and the childish romantic. Doesn’t exactly sound like the perfect couple, but it would make one hysterical story!

I just wanted to say that I love this blog. I went out and bought this game the day it was released, but unfortunately my computer is to old and doesn’t have near enough memory. I enjoy reading this blog everyday.

Oh! I just had to respond to your post specifically. I would like to point out (because it’s possible for everyone to enjoy this game on any type of computer) that my computer is 8 years old and only supports up to 1 gig of memory, however with a few minor do-it-yourself upgrades that must have cost me about $150 – if not less – in total I’m able to play TS3! Yay!

If I was Zed, Kev would have been on the tail end of a beating, or at least in the back of a Sims Police Car…

To be honest, i’m completely ready for him to DIE. And for Alice to move in with Zed as a room mate, renting the spare room, and eventually moving into HIS room as she gets pregnant and they are FORCED to get married. And live happily ever after…

…UNTIL her crappy upbringing catches up with her, she gets really confused, and ends up leaving Zed with the kid in her arms, running through the rain out the SimHenge so she can yell at rocks. Before finally having the child taken away by SSS. (Sims Social Services) And she is forced to live on the street again, as a “lady of the evening” to make money and support, not only her MADNESS!! But her addiction to cough syrup and heroin.

THEN, Alice will FINALLY meet a RICH man, like in the movie “PRETTY WOMAN”. But instead of getting married, he instead, promises her 50,000 sim dollars if she’ll do a crazy depraved sex act with a rabid angry bear. Having not been raised by the smartest man herself, she accepts. The bear takes her face off, and, panicking (as Sims so often begin to do), the RICH man disposed of her body by dumping her in the river. Coincidentally…the very SAME river where Alive and Zedadias dumped the body of her late father, Kev. The space they were unable to tolerate sharing in life, they would share together forever in death….
Zedadias eventually, but only after years and years of legal battles, was able to get the baby back. After that, the baby (Named Cooper) and Zedadias lived together in relative suburban normalcy until Cooper turned 12 and had to have his appendix removed. Blood DNA tests ran at that time by the child’s angry Grandmother, whom had never forgave Alice for running off with Cooper and acting so poorly that he’d been raised by the state for several years, showed the Cooper and Zedadias had no genetic SIMilarities (no pun intended :-P). But Zedadias being the man he is, disregarded those results and continued to raise the child until he turned 18 and moved out on his own.

And moral of the story IS….ummm…that woman can be really messed up cometimes…I think, I forget where I was comin from with this, just kinda got wrapped up in finishing the story….

Lord da josh… You sick twisted fiend! Alice is not crazy she is a good person in a very bad situation(you’ll find those words in a harry potter movie. i forgot which) If i wasn’t saying this over the internet i would smack you! Can’t you be like everyone else reading this blog and hope alice and zed will fall in love get married BEFORE she gets pregant and have at least two kids. And what the hell is her trait!

Wasn’t really expecting updates to happen so quickly but I’m glad it did. Zed being tolerant towards Kev.. a sign that he wants to score points with the father of his future girlfriend or has he become so familiar with Kev already that he doesn’t mind his antics. Either way he’s still easy to like because of (or despite of) his childishness.

BTW got curious enough about the game that I did some research.. Is Alices’ last trait hopeless romantic? I remember reading somewhere that she read a romance novel.. and remember reading from several sites that reading a romance novel is an auto action available with the romantic trait.

so she is a hopeless romantic? that would be horrible.. I mean in real life she would be easily taken advantage of and left in a worse situation than she is now.. Zed deserves to die if he does something like that to Alice.

@saw: uggh, i cant reply, edit or addon to my comment.. so i am adding it here. weird thought. Zedd probably needs to get the ‘birds and the bees’ talk first before their relationship could go into the romantic direction. :p

I’ve had a similar shower problem. I just had to suck it up and replace all the items in the bathroom. Pretty sure it’s just some sort of glitch, but it didn’t go away after a few days and a restart of the game, unfortunately.

man, Zed really is a good guy, huh??? Putting up with His Awfulness. I would most likely just kill Kev (or at least kick him out of my house) and have done with.
Maybe Alice’s last trait is Brave. That would sorta explain the whole “running for independance” thing. or not.

i tried to make a homeless family in the sims 2 ( i have yet to get the sime 3 i’m still saveing) a father and daughter. since sims 2 is direfeent thay had a frige hidden by trees. the dad died than something really odd happend the daughter a child at the time never got taken by the socal worker O.o i didn’t get it i even played her awhile . the socal worker never came. i finlly moved her in with a new family. stangely that was not the first time that has happend in my game. its only when a parent dies
like i said odd

To stop the water from pooling in the bathroom, you could just mop all the water up then buy a drain and put it in the bathroom. To do that of course, you would need tocontrol a sim living in the house…..so maybe you can influence Alice’s life a little and move her in with Zed?
